History
St. Louis was born to be the king
of France, but his mother, Blanche, raised him to be a devoted servant of
Christ as well as his country. Perhaps because he lived in a palace, surrounded
by comforts, King Louis IX made it a habit to wear a hair shirt (which made him
itch) under his fancy clothes so he would never forget the sufferings of the
poor and oppressed. He fed more than 100 poor people every day from the royal
table, and twice, he went to war to protect Christians in other countries.
Activity
For many, many years Christians
have done different things that made them just a little bit uncomfortable so
that they have a constant reminder to pray or to serve others. Try it today
with three strands of wool yarn (representing the Father, the Son and the Holy
Spirit) knotted around your wrist.
